...and what we're forgetting here is that where it not for the fact that he did anything with the set, most of our 'YL's would have had the set carted off to the landfill to get it the "hell out of the garage" to make room for gardening supplies.
The fact that someone is trying to do two things:
1. *Learn* something about the design and the components' capabilities,
and
2. Move forward with assisting in the reproduction or replacement of what would otherwise be an unobtainable part, knowledge of which will benefit each and everyone in the hobby.
..should be commended.
I don't think we'd be having anyone in the commercial world research the production of tube circuit flyback transformers.
Heck, I can't even get someone to rebuild or even supply a CRT that there were at least 100000+ built by Zenith in the day, and I've posted requests on nearly every forum on the interweb over the past three years. And to boot, the tube I need is sought after by the owners of what is at least 10^4 more sets than number of 21CT55s bulit in the first place.
Move on.
We will all benefit when the "art" of winding new transformers is perfected (rediscovered), just as we all benefit when a number of 15G's were used in the development of a rebuild procedure.
